Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough this is not mentioned in this documentary, Hart is still a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the body that awards the Oscars). She often watches her Academy screeners with her fellow nuns. In 2015 she appeared on CNN's Michael Smerconish show to discuss her picks for that year's Oscars. She said that she had a hard time choosing between The Grand Budapest Hotel and Boyhood for Best Picture, but ultimately voted for The Grand Budapest Hotel.
- Quotes
Dolores Hart: I often wonder why the Lord gave me such opportunity to audition for Elvis. There were so many of us in line that day and I just can't believe I got the part.

Featured review

LOVE the title and LOVE this short documentary!
Had heard for MANY years the story of Ms. Hart and how she, like Grace Kelly, had left it all behind, but often wondered what her life must have been like after leaving Hollywood.
And now, I KNOW !!
Also appreciate GREATLY that they didn't feel the need to go on for another hour, simply because most "serious" documentaries tend to run anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours, just like most feature films!
This one VERY directly gives all the background info., where, and how Dolores Hart is today, and a brief idea of what her life was like in the intervening 50 years.
No muss, No fuss, and that's it !!
A job, I might add, that is well done, and leaves the viewer NOT wanting any more........simply because nothing more needs to be said !!
Well Done !!
